Roo helps you figure out where you stand right now, what to do this cycle, and when it makes sense to move from timing and tracking into testing or treatment planning.
01/ Find your stage
Pick the stage that feels closest to your reality right now. We'll show what is normal, what to do next, and when a medical check-in may help more than another month of guessing.
It is normal not to conceive immediately. Even with healthy fertility, conception usually takes a few cycles.
This month's plan
When to escalate
Seek earlier advice if cycles are very irregular, you have severe pain, prior miscarriage patterns, or known male factor concerns.

We'll steer you into the most relevant decision-support flow for this stage.
01/ What Roo helps with
Roo covers the four dimensions users need most in a conceiving journey: stage clarity, red-flag spotting, next-step planning, and emotional steadiness.
Stage, timing, and fertile-window clarity
Start with the question behind the question: are you still in the normal trying window, or is it time to tighten the plan?
So you do not lose time to guesswork
Roo helps you separate common uncertainty from signals that deserve earlier testing or specialist input.
Not every path needs IVF
Move from vague reassurance to concrete next steps: optimize naturally, get testing, consider medicated cycles, IUI, or advanced care.
Because TTC is emotional work too
The conceiving experience is not only medical. Roo helps users hold hope and uncertainty without spinning every cycle into panic.
03/ When to seek help
These timing thresholds are educational, not diagnostic. They are here to help users decide when another cycle of trying is reasonable versus when a basic fertility check-in may save time.
Under 35 with regular cycles
What can still be normal
Up to 12 months can still be within the expected range.
When to check in
Seek fertility evaluation after 12 months of well-timed trying.
Escalate sooner if
35 and older
What can still be normal
Time matters more, even when everything else looks reassuring.
When to check in
Seek fertility evaluation after 6 months of trying, or earlier if you prefer baseline testing.
Escalate sooner if
Any age with red flags
What can still be normal
A wait-and-see approach is often less useful when risk factors are already present.
When to check in
Consider earlier medical follow-up rather than waiting for the typical time threshold.
Escalate sooner if
04/ This cycle action plan
This is the practical layer most users need first: timing, tracking depth, partner factors, and the basic foundations that matter before treatment decisions do.
02/ Self-assessments
Three short triage tools, each designed to tell you what stage you are likely in, what to track next, and when a more medical plan may be worth it.
05/ Fertility workup checklist
A workup is more useful when users understand what each piece is trying to answer. This section is meant to prepare better conversations, not to prescribe a one-size-fits-all lab panel.
Cycle and hormone labs
What it helps answer
Whether ovulation, thyroid function, prolactin, or ovarian reserve need a closer look.
Who it usually applies to
Usually the person providing eggs / carrying the pregnancy.
When it is usually considered
Irregular cycles, age-related planning, or after several months of trying.
Good question to ask
Specific labs vary by clinician and cycle timing, so ask what each one will change in your plan.
Mid-luteal progesterone or ovulation confirmation plan
What it helps answer
Whether ovulation likely occurred in that cycle.
Who it usually applies to
Usually the person ovulating.
When it is usually considered
When ovulation signs are unclear or cycles are irregular.
Good question to ask
One lab alone is not the whole story; clinicians often pair it with cycle history and symptoms.
Pelvic ultrasound
What it helps answer
Whether there are signs of fibroids, cysts, antral follicle count patterns, or structural concerns.
Who it usually applies to
Usually the person carrying the pregnancy.
When it is usually considered
If cycles are irregular, pain is present, or reserve/structure is being reviewed.
Good question to ask
Ultrasound is often part of the workup, but findings still need clinical interpretation in context.
Tubal / uterine cavity evaluation (for example HSG or SIS)
What it helps answer
Whether tubes appear open and whether the uterine cavity needs closer review.
Who it usually applies to
Usually the person carrying the pregnancy.
When it is usually considered
When pregnancy has not happened after months of trying or before IUI decisions.
Good question to ask
Ask what test is recommended, what it can show, and how results would change next steps.
Semen analysis
What it helps answer
Whether count, motility, or morphology suggest male factor fertility issues.
Who it usually applies to
Usually the sperm-producing partner or donor planning workflow.
When it is usually considered
Often early in the workup, especially when time matters.
Good question to ask
Male factor is common and often under-tested; it is worth discussing early rather than late.
Genetic or recurrent loss evaluation
What it helps answer
Whether recurrent loss or family history needs deeper evaluation.
Who it usually applies to
Depends on history and clinician recommendation.
When it is usually considered
Usually after recurrent pregnancy loss, known family history, or repeated treatment failure.
Good question to ask
Not part of every standard workup, but important in the right clinical context.
06/ Red flags
These are the patterns that often change the plan from “keep trying” to “get clearer, sooner.” They are still not diagnoses, but they are good reasons not to lose time.
Irregular or absent periods
Cycles that are very hard to predict, very long, or missing entirely.
Why it matters
This can signal irregular ovulation and may justify earlier medical follow-up.
Recurrent miscarriage or pregnancy loss
Two or more losses, or a history that is making you worry about repeat loss.
Why it matters
This usually deserves targeted evaluation instead of continuing with generic trying advice.
Severe period pain or endometriosis suspicion
Pain that disrupts daily life, deep pain with sex, or prior endometriosis concerns.
Why it matters
Pain can overlap with fertility-affecting conditions and may change what testing makes sense.
Male factor concerns
Known low count, motility concerns, varicocele, erectile/ejaculatory issues, or no semen testing yet.
Why it matters
Male factor is common, and early testing can prevent months of avoidable uncertainty.
Prior treatment failures or known diagnosis
You already have test results, a diagnosis, or prior treatment that did not work.
Why it matters
This usually shifts the goal from broad education to specific treatment planning.
08/ Interactive tools
Use one tool to decide what branch makes sense next, and another to compare what usually comes before and after IUI, IVF, and other fertility methods.
Decision Tool

Methods Guide
Decision-ready comparison of fertility methods, including who each path fits, common prerequisites, tradeoffs, and what usually happens next.
